We have not forgotten the huge protest activities in the country in general and Delhi in particular against heinous crime of gangrape of 16/12. It continued for days together and ultimately the perpetrators were nabbed and produced before the court. The main culprit committed suicide inside the jail and the remaining ones may also be either hanged or convicted with life terms. Will the story end there? Have we ever coolly sat to find out the reasons behind the mounting crimes against women? The reasons may not be only a few what appears apparently. They may be many due to pressing socio-economic milieus.
Our ancient scriptures enjoin that one should avoid to stay alone with even close female relatives like sisters and others. This is so because despite the moral limitations, one is prone to slip when he happens to be privately together. We know how Dharmaraja Yudhisthir had replied a question about his mental state when he saw his mother who had the boon of undiminishing youthfulness for ever. The unprecedented growth of population, division of resources and compulsion of living with the entire family in close proximity, often give encouragement to apparently immoral behavior. This is so visible in flat and apartment living in big cities. The growing openness, though a welcome development, is yet to take a healthy root in our society which comes handy to the criminal elements.
It happened only two days back.. One of my colleagues had gone to the residence of his relative, occupying the post of a senior executive in the Govt. Exactly then the mobile rang. The school going son of the gentleman picked up. The father enquired about the caller and the boy said she was his father’s girl friend. The father took the mobile and said that he would call later. Then he also revealed to the visitor that the boy had also his girl friend. On his request, the boy showed a photograph of his girl friend and boldly announced that he would marry her when right time came. Is this frankness not uncalledfor and over stretching the matter? With this strange family sanskar, where he will reach?
Today itself I have seen another alarming news that on the naval base at Kochi, on regular basis the officers arrange parties where they enjoy wife swapping. We could know when a newly wed Delhi girl moved the judiciary. Now her husband and his colleagues are bent upon proving her a mental case. What type of sanskar will the children of such wedlocks will carry? Sex is the cause of all births, but no religion permits open indulgence and its disparagement. Sitting with fingers crossed, we eagerly await the worst.
